John Bonham! The best of 70's! Really good and quick overall! I'm a great fan of Led Zeppelin.
Ian Paice is amazing too! (Deep Purple).


The only think commendable about him is that we share the same first name.

however certain drummers are better than others. for instance.

its FACT that billy cobham is better the travis barker. FACT. its FACT that dave lambardo is better then joey jordanson.

now it also depends on the certain criteria you use


That's not a FACT, that is simply your opinion. What you think makes the guys you mentioned good drummers, someone else may think something completely different makes a person a good drummer and won't agree with your opinion at all.

i will because he wasnt.

i love him and his style to death. i play A7X stuff all the time. he has some brilliant songs. but saying hes the best drummer ever is wrong. FACT

Ok, i know its really impossible to say who the best is, in fact theres always someone better than you, but REV is my fav and hes pretty good but obviously people are better. Since you play drums, im just gonna ask who you think is better, The REV or Michael Thomas.

examples of his work:
Winged Horse
Hear Me Calling
Beyond The Black Hole
The Last Before The Storm
Rise
Solid
Hellfire

other good drummers:
Dani Loble (Helloween)
Dave Grohl (ex-Narvana, Foo Fighters; live only on occasion)
John Bonham (Led Zeppelin R.I.P.)
Uli Kusch (ex-Gamma Ray, ex-Helloween, ex-alotofotherbandsthatnooneknows, Symfonia)
Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden)
Clive Burr (ex-Iron Maiden)
and more

michael thomas is clearly more technically skilled then the rev, however if it came down to me putting them on a list, i wouldnt put the rev ahead of michael due to the impact that the rev made on the society as a whole. he has also been a far more influential drummer than michael overall.

i personally like michael more

well it was a joke, but in retrospect he really was very influential not only as a drummer, but as a singer/songwriter as well.
If we're counting cultural effect as part of this debate, we can no doubt agree that Phil Collins had a huge impact.
